And we are already working in a proper transition for stuff that currently depends on libqt4-dbus just because they actually need qdbus. So for Jessie we will eliminate libqtdbus4. And, by the way we mangled the symbols files, no package should depend on libqtdbus4 ever (symbols point to libqt4-dbus).
